This document has instructions for running ResNet50 v1.5 training using Intel-optimized TensorFlow.
Note that the ImageNet dataset is used in these ResNet50 v1.5 examples. Download and preprocess the ImageNet dataset using the instructions here. After running the conversion script you should have a directory with the ImageNet dataset in the TF records format.
Set the DATASET_DIR
to point to this directory when running ResNet50 v1.5.
Script name | Description |
---|---|
training_demo.sh |
Executes a short run using small batch sizes and a limited number of steps to demonstrate the training flow |
training_1_epoch.sh |
Executes a test run that trains the model for 1 epoch and saves checkpoint files to an output directory. |
training_full.sh |
Trains the model using the full dataset and runs until convergence (90 epochs) and saves checkpoint files to an output directory. Note that this will take a considerable amount of time. |
multi_instance_training_demo.sh |
Uses mpirun to execute 2 processes with 1 process per socket with a batch size of 1 for 50 steps. |
multi_instance_training.sh |
Uses mpirun to execute 1 process per socket with a batch size of 1024 for the specified precision (fp32 or bfloat16 or bfloat32). Checkpoint files and logs for each instance are saved to the output directory. |
Setup your environment using the instructions below, depending on if you are using AI Kit:

Set the environment variables, navigate to your model zoo directory and run quickstart scripts. See the list of quickstart scripts for details on the different options.
# cd to your model zoo directory
cd models
export DATASET_DIR=<path to the ImageNet TF records>
export OUTPUT_DIR=<path to the directory where log files and checkpoints will be written>
export PRECISION=<set the precision to "fp32" or "bfloat16" or "bfloat32">
# For a custom batch size, set env var `BATCH_SIZE` or it will run with a default value.
export BATCH_SIZE=<customized batch size value>
./quickstart/image_recognition/tensorflow/resnet50v1_5/training/cpu/<script name>.sh
- To run more advanced use cases, see the instructions for the available precisions FP32 BFloat16 for calling the
launch_benchmark.py
script directly. - To run the model using docker, please see the Intel® Developer Catalog
